In the last 3 games he has 13, 12, and 8 points. Except for the Brooklyn game where he had 10 assists, he has no impact out there. I wonder if he is injured or what? 4-20, 5-13, and 3-10 FG which equals to about 28%.  :-\

I think he is just forcing the issue. Trying to put the team on his shoulders like the old days. He would better served picking his spots.

It does seem like he is jacking up shots which disrupts the offense. I hate to suggest him coming off the bench, but I feel he would be better in the 2nd unit.

I hope Pierce is injured right now because this is a really awful run of games for him.

Stretches like these are expected at Pierce's age.

He's bound to go on hot or cold runs.

Cooked guys don't put the team on his back like he did a few games back. However he is old and old guys pay a price when they put the team on their back like that. Same thing happened last year. He can either be a steady 6-7 or have spurts as a 10 followed by longer stretches as a 3 or 4 to make up for it. It is what it is.

yup...Pierce and KG just can't put the Celtics on their back and carry the team anymore.   Their best years are behind them.

They can still be impact players as 2 nd string , and really help a team....that has a strong elite core of young starters ...like HOUSTON ...or Memphis...

same for Terry , he can come in for a few minutes, he an't no starter anymore period , but Celtics need to REBUILD the starting line up.
